For our first week we've had orientation in the mornings, consisting of lectures concerning local healthcare and what the groups will be encountering, as well as preparation and training on teaching farming techniques and doing circumcisions. In the afternoons, after the 2-3 p.m. siesta, we've gone out to the local villages and shared our testimonies and engaged the people in Bible studies. The people are very open to talking about faith here.

Several people we met requested we come back for more Bible studies, and many have prayed to accept Jesus Christ as their savior. The majority of people here would call themselves Catholic, but many are nominal in faith, believe in salvation by good works or still believe in animism. Many think are are saved but admit they're not really sure. A big part of our mission this summer is to share the gospel with people and teach them about the salvation from God that leaves no doubt.
